Application filed December 1, 1924. Serial No. 753,206.

Tja' ,all whom it may concern ,Be it known thetflf, ALONZO a citizen of the United Sta-tes, residing at Fort Worth, -n the county, of .Tarrant .and -Stetefof Texas, ,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glazing Machines, of which the followingk is a specification. f d

invention relates tol glazing machines and more; `p'articularly to machines for applying `,putty and :making a smooth finish; Aand 'the' object;- is to provide. machines for mixing putty and for applying the put-ty mechanically and in `a more practical man nerpand for `doing the 'work eiiiciently and which will be more economical. Other Aobjects and .advantages Awill be fully eX- plained in the following description `and the invention will be more particularly pointed out in fthe claims.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings which -orm a part of this appli.- cation. v

The V:machine .is .provided with Van upright frame, liavingfposts 'l and cross-bars -2 ait the top' :part of the 'frame attached .tothe nprights 1. A fourvarmed reel is .provided 'With'tfwo sash holdin-g arms .3 and two .sash

bracing arms 4 .andthe reel is Vjournaled in .a :hearing 5 which isz attached -to a post 6. The post .6 :is braced by :a bar 7 which is .svttache'd :to the post .6 .and toa frame member 2. The neel is tofwbetuined hand o r mamialiy.

The arm 3- is provided with a number of holes so ,thattihe collar 1l can be adjusted .to different points 0.11 :the arm 3.' The object is to adapt the brackets for holding sash of diiierent dimensions.. The object of the Springs 10 is topermitihe adjustment of the sash on the reel.. The edge of the saslgi isf placed on the lug and pressed downwardly until 'the .sash vat .the upper side will pass und-er the lug 48 on the upper part of thel reel erm v3 above :the bea-r'. ing 5.5 It will be understood that the collars .9 land ll and their .attachments are duplicated on each rarm 3. During operation the reel is prevented kfrom turni-ng 'by .a spring keeper 13 which is mounted in the .pestl 6 ,and projects through -a casing. .14 `and 'is held vprojected against an arm 3 by a spring 15.

is provided with a Vho per 16 Ifor 'receiving the ingredients for mailling putty and the put-ty is .mixed in the hopper. A pump 17 ,is provided and is .driven-byte motor 'l8yby suitable gearing. .The .motor ,drives a 'belt 19 which drives `a pnl-ley. 20

rigid on shaft v2l. A loosepulley 2211s mounted onf the-shaft 21 vand ,a belt shifter 23 is provided for shifting the belt 19. The

.mo-tor 118 een be sten-ed while the belt 1139 is .on the .loose pulley 22 and then shifted to .the tast .or tglzlt ,pulley :20 'when itis .time to .drives .s lspiecket wheel .'Zf'wliiich is :rig

she-ftv an thiswheel drives va sprocket `chain 25 'which drives a sprocket wheel 2.6

which is rigid with shaft 27. Two ,sproket wheelsA 28 and '-29 .are mounted .onthe shaft x27 to Ygive two difierent speeds and a clutch 30 'isA provided ,tor looking either one of .theL

wheels .28 and 29 nto the .shaft 27 :fo-.r .driving purposes. A lever 31 ils rprOvide/d .for ec'tueting the clutchjBO. The "wheel 28 drives .a sprocket:chainz :32 and wheel 2.9 .drives a sprocket chain 3 3. 'llhe .chain `32,dri-vest..e .sprocket wheel 134 and che-inf .33 drives a sproeketwheel .35.. The sha-ft :36 :may be dri-ven by either one off thewheels' 34 and The obj-ect .of the provision .oi .tivo vdi'erent speeds is to force the putty from'the pig-nip 17 at two different speeds. When the `liifitty is to Ybe driventhroughthe lar-ger pipe 37, faster ,speedisrequired .and thecluteh B10-with be :thro-wn in mesh 'with the YAclutch -oit 'wheel .9.8Y zto :drive the., charia B2i 'lhe-thlee-Wey valve 3:8is turned to startthepntty -tliroigh the pipe 87. W'hen the putty is to be forced from the pump through the putty applying hose 39, the clutch is thrown in meshwith the Wheel 29 to drive chain 38 which Will give a slower speed. The' three-Way valve 38 Will be turned to start the putty through the hose 39. The putty can then be applied to the sash through the hose 39.

Means are provided for regulating the pressure of the putty in passing through the hose `39. A pipe 40 is connected to the'pipe 4l Which supplies putty to' the hose 39. The pipe 40 leads Within the hopper 16 and a relief valve is connected to the pipe 40. This valve consists of a tube 42 which is connected to pipe 40 and of casing 43 and of a spring actuated plunger 44l which carries a. point 45 adapted to close the passage 46 from the pipe 40 to the tube 44 and toopen this passage more or less. The plunger 44 -is actuated by a spring 47. In operation, the casing 43 can be screwed more or less on the tube 44 to regulate the tension of the spring'47. If the tension of spring 47 is increased, the point 45 Will tend to close the passage 42 and so retard the passage of putty through the pipe 40 and to increase the Vflow of putty through the hose 39. If the vtion. v y `What I claim, is,-

putty will pass through pipe 40 and the 'passage 42 and escape through opening 49 into the hopper 16.

f A The hose 39 is provided With a nozzle 49 `and' a valve 48. A lever 50 is provided for ycutting oli' the iloW of putty through the nozzle. Provision is made for handling the hose 39 to make the handling easier for -the operator. n'eced vto aholloW post or tube 52.

A crane 51 is pivotally con- A Weight' is connected to a chain or cable 354 which rims over idlers 55 and 56 and is provided With a hook for engaging 'the hose '39. The Weight 53 moves freely in the post .52. to the required point Without having to :carry the Weight of the hose.

The operator can direct the nozzle 49 The hose can be supported by the crane and Aits attachments when thehose is not in use.

construction and arrangement of the several Vparts of the invention above described may be made Without departing from my invenl; A glazing machine comprising an up- `right frame,` a reel and a shaft therefor journaled insaid frame, means for mounting a sash on said reel, av hopper and mech- -anisin for mixing ingredients in said hopper including a pump infcommunication with said hopper and a pipe communicating With said pump and with said hopper, and gearing for driving said ump. ,2.
